Casper. Turtle and tortoise are not the same thing. Tortoise have feet turtles have webbed flippers. Tortoise live on land turtles in water. Is basically what the difference is.
I know spiff. But whenever I've shown pics of my tortoise, my American friends have called him a turtle ? And unicorns are awesome
Maybe because here we have tons of turtles and few tortoises? I'm just guessing, I really don't know except I've only seen tortoises at the zoo
